He alleged that the former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has promised to solve the journalists’ problems but not a single problem has been solved.

The minister reminded that journalists have worked hard to bring Congress government in the State.

A court case related to the house sites previously given to journalists in Hyderabad was cleared recently and the government was ready to give those sites to the members of the Hyderabad Journalists’ Housing Society, he said.

Later in the day Srinivasa Reddy visited Jeellcheruvu, Kesavapuram, Dharma thanda and Pocharam villages of Kusumanchi mandal and received petitions from the villagers.
